Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Previous site use/issues

• Nature area owned by LB Newham (little known/used by local people)

• No access for wheelchairs

• Limited access points adding to ‘fear of crime’

• Ecologically and historically valuable site but no information for site users reed buting have been seen in the reeds adjacent to the site

• Lack of seating areas within site for users/local school groups

Enhancements

• Enhanced planting within site including black poplars

• Creation of riverside seating/viewing area

• Provision of site wildlife and historical information boards

• New wheelchair friendly site entrance and access route

• Interpretation boards installed by just ecology
